Hello Again.

[BloomingRose]

Hello! You can call me Rose. Its not my real name but I don't feel 100% comfortable with saying it. 

I joined this group a couple months ago but didn't feel like I deserved to be here. Back when I joined this group I had just realised what happened to me. I blamed myself. I didnt believe I deserved to be on here. I still from time to time blame myself, but I now know I need somewhere to vent. Somewhere to see other people like me. Also a place where maybe I could give advice to others. I hope this is the place!

Dear bloomingrose

Welcome to After Silence!!

I'm sorry for what you have been through.  I find it is easier to talk on forums then out loud.  Being here has helped me so much, even from the first time I ever posted.  It is still helping me - I have so much support here and I know you will, as well.  Here at AS, we are like a big family and our members are kind and non-judgemental.

I am sending you lots of safe hugs! 

Take care!P
